Reincarnation: Trying to pretend to be ordinary, but it turns out it's really impossible.

When the two returned home, Su's parents had already gone to bed.

Before returning to her room, Su Ningning thought that Shen Xingbai would have to leave very early the next morning, and she definitely wouldn't be able to get up to see him off.

So she tiptoed and gently kissed Shen Xingbai, saying goodnight to him.

Consider it their advance farewell.

Shen Xingbai reached out and gently hugged her, resting his chin on her shoulder.

At this moment, he shed his usual composure, his tone carrying a rare hint of vulnerability as he spoke softly:

"Ningning, can you come to Beijing to be with me soon?"

Seeing how dependent he was on her, as if he couldn't live without her, Su Ningning's heart softened, and she subconsciously nodded.

Shen Xingbai continued softly, "I'll come on the 11th, okay?"

Su Ningning was drawn to his pitiful appearance and, somewhat confused, agreed, "Okay."

"Then it's settled. I'll wait for you at the train station that day. See you there." Shen Xingbai settled the time.

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Ningning suddenly came to her senses and was immediately filled with regret.

I accidentally agreed to return several days earlier than planned.

But she always kept her word, so I could only sullenly compromise: "Fine."

Shen Xingbai gently nuzzled her cheek and softly kissed her: "Goodnight."

Back in her room and lying in bed, Su Ningning tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, and patted her pillow in frustration.

They actually used a honey trap, and I fell for it so easily. My perfectly good holiday was shortened by several days.

Meanwhile, Shen Xingbai, having achieved her goal, looked relieved.

On October 1st, Su Ningning took the car back to Beijing on time.

Before she even arrived, Shen Xingbai was already waiting at the station.

After Shen Xingbai took Su Ningning back, he immediately left work on time. Zhang Tianyu and He Siqi in the company breathed a sigh of relief, finally free.

During the days that Su Ningning was away from Beijing, Shen Xingbai treated the company like his home.

He spends all his time in the office building, and even specially set up a lounge next to his office, where he eats and sleeps.

Working overtime through the night is the norm. I'm always on edge, leading my team to work non-stop, which doubles the workload.

He Siqi rubbed his aching temples, looking utterly miserable.

"If I keep going like this, I'm going to lose all my hair. If I keep going like this, I'm afraid I'll be squeezed out of the top four campus heartthrobs."

Zhang Tianyu echoed his sentiments repeatedly, launching into a tirade of criticism:

"That's right. No matter how good the company is right now, it can't keep up with this kind of working day and night. We just can't take it anymore."

He Siqi calmed himself down and spoke in a comforting tone:

"Fortunately, I'll be a senior in college soon. Right now, I have to juggle my studies and keep an eye on the company, which is why I'm so tired."

Once we're in our senior year and the coursework is lighter, we can focus all our energy on our careers.

"Once the company expands further and the processes are streamlined, things will gradually become less demanding."

Zhang Tianyu could only sigh helplessly: "I hope so."

After Su Ningning arrived,

Shen Xingbai usually leaves work on time, goes home, and cooks for Su Ningning.

They can finally live a normal life and no longer be exploited by high-intensity work.

After returning to Beijing, Su Ningning didn't go to the club at all, and stayed in Shen Xingbai's apartment all day.

They lived a leisurely and carefree life, completely displaying a lazy and irresponsible attitude of just waiting to die.

Unfortunately, not long after, Lao Wang from the club called.

With the Spring Professional League approaching at the end of March and the schedule fast approaching, teams must intensify their preparations.

He told Su Ningning to go to the club for training as soon as possible to stabilize her form and improve team coordination.

Su Ningning immediately remembered the five million and readily agreed.

Old Wang went on and on and on.

"If we can maintain a stable performance and make it into the top three in this spring season, our club will be able to successfully return to the S-level."

Once we reach S-level, we will regain our qualification for international competitions.

The prize money and collaboration fees over there are significantly higher.

When Su Ningning heard that she could compete in international tournaments and win high prize money, her eyes lit up immediately.

Old Wang was afraid that this temptation wasn't enough, so he slowly increased the amount:

"Moreover, as long as you successfully upgrade to S-rank, the entire team's overall salary will be increased, and your salary will also increase significantly."

Su Ningning on the other end of the phone instantly became highly motivated, her tone exceptionally excited as she said:

"Okay! Okay! I'll definitely play my best in the match and encourage my teammates to train hard. Let's give it our all and achieve good results!"

Upon hearing this, Old Wang showed a satisfied expression, gave her a few more simple instructions to come early, and then hung up the phone.

He looked up at the team members training in the training room, his expression changing from his relaxed demeanor just moments before.

To be honest, with the current team members, it would be quite difficult for them to reach the S-level without Su Ningning.

In its early years, Tianchen Club was wealthy and powerful, and spent a lot of money to poach a large number of strong professional players, so its foundation was excellent.

Unfortunately, with Ji Ershao dominating the team, any player with exceptional skill and potential...

They were all secretly targeted and suppressed by him, and their fates were all more tragic than the last, eventually forcing them all to leave.

The team's strength plummeted due to the successive loss of its core players.

It has just fallen from the top SS level all the way to A level. If left unchecked, it will eventually fall to B level.

Fortunately, Su Ningning joined the team later and single-handedly carried the team in the matches.

They managed to stabilize the team's ranking in the A-level category, preventing it from continuing to slip.

Now the entire team is pinning all their hopes on this spring season, hoping to take this opportunity to return to S-level. As for SS-level, Lao Wang doesn't even dare to dream of it.

After all, in the early stages of esports, one or two people can still carry the team, but in the later stages, at the SS level, no one in the team is weak.

Anyway, as long as Ji Ershao is still in the club, even with Su Ningning in charge, there is no chance of him making it to the SS-level team.

Soon, the annual Spring Professional Tournament officially opened for registration.

This year's league has a total of twelve professional clubs registered to participate.

The overall competitive landscape has changed significantly compared to previous years.

First, let's talk about the situation of the top teams.

Both of the SS-level club teams, which dominated the league in previous years and had a significant lead in strength, have chosen to miss this year's Spring Split.

Not registering for the competition is a huge advantage for all mid-table teams.

Of the twelve teams participating, only three are established S-level clubs, while the other nine are A-level club teams.

Overall, this year's competition schedule is exceptionally favorable for Tianchen Esports.

With top-tier opponents absent and a clear stratification among them, as long as we maintain a consistent training pace, develop sound tactical plans, and take each best-of-three match seriously, we can succeed.

They have every opportunity to achieve good results in this spring professional season and strive for a higher ranking.

The regular season of this Spring Split will be held entirely online, using a single round-robin format.

Each pair of teams will face off once, with the match rules being BO3, meaning best of three games.

Each team must play against the other eleven teams one by one, and compete for a playoff spot based on their points ranking.
